The Rumour Commode XLVII: Foamseca is out

[The Cat]

Next coach?

Honestly I wouldn't mind. A breathe of fresh air, change we need.
Alongside an actual DS (tare/d'amico) of course

Reijnders the bitch reportedly agreed with city and wants to go ( sacha tavolieri )

Read on MilanNews that City offered 55 but Milan wants at least 70 to sell Deers. I would take the 70 if we had people capable in the transfer market. Atalanta is good at selling their best players and find others almost as good at much lesser cost and also have a great youth system. They bought this 21-year-old kid Sulemana from Cagliari for 4 million and played him a few minutes last week in his first appearance scoring a screamer. Yesterday in his first start scored another, so in 112 minutes 2 goals while listed as a DM on TransferMarket.

@MilanMB @milancuore @Null Whats there to Bozo? Not a bad goal was it?

 

[R.Akbar]

However, tensions between Farioli and Ajax's executive board have reportedly escalated, with disagreements over tactics, transfers, and finances, leading to speculation that he may soon leave the club. On the 19th of May 2025, Farioli decided to leave Ajax. [23]

Tactics​

Francesco Farioli's coaching style, influenced by Roberto De Zerbi but with his own ideas,[15][24] typically involves keeping the ball (possession) and building play carefully from the back to control the midfield.[15][24] His teams often concentrate players centrally, using short passes to dictate the game's pace and quickly attempt to regain possession after losing the ball.[15][24] Key ideas include using quick passing sequences to bypass opponents and adjusting the speed of attacks based on the opposition.[24][15]

Interesting Fact(s)
1. He has the guts to fight with management--> not management best interest
2. He follows RDZ.

 

[WILL2K]

Conceicao having fights with his players is a well known fact. There are clips all over the internet, at least 2-3 public incidents on the pitch where he would, at minimum, verbally assault his own players.

I was hoping he would change. Just not the right personality for us, or a tactician. Appreciate the grinta, mentality aspects though.

@MilanMB @milancuore @Null Whats there to Bozo? Not a bad goal was it?

 

[pippofan]

Maldini is never coming back... Albertini as a TD and a veteran SD that knows the league or has a clear vision and contacts is the first things we need to start this new cycle at management level.

My fear is they'll be coming into a very chaotic situation but with the right attitude and vision, the challenge could be a draw to some.

Gerry needs to step out the fucking way and invest in people, the right people, to save his investment.

He's going to lose money and face if we see another shit show of a season next year.

The talk of Deers accepting City and Pulisic being unhappy, while not surprising, will be mostly paper talk, for now.

I do fear these two will want out of things aren't stabilised, and quick. Add to that the contract issues with Theo and Mike. If those 4 leave, while we'll receive money, I have no faith that Gerry will reinvest what's needed to properly replace these guys, on top of needing starting quality players in midfield, RB and better back ups in several positions.

This rebuild without European money and a clear idea, is going to take a few seasons, if ever.

I've been on the Gerry bashing train since day one, and I hate being proven right now.

The guys a fucking idiot when it comes to football. His ego is going to hold us back if he doesn't eat some humble pie, and he's too poor to buy his way out of this mess.

I'm afraid that with the lack of CL our top players might want to leave, just hope we get a ton of money if we sell.
Maignan, who got beat twice at his near post yesterday I'll be happy to see go, same with Theo, but Reijnders and Pulisic would be painful. They are 26/27 on the prime of their careers so I can understand their reasons while not sure if Leao cares about the CL or not.
We could get 150 or so for the 3 of them but will face a massive rebuild that might keep us midtable for a while.

 

[SuperPippo]

Selling our best players shouldn't be a problem, however it will take a competent SD to get the right kind of money for them and reinvest it properly. For me, Leao, Theo, Mike, Tomori, Tiji can all be sold for good prices.

We also have plenty of crap to offload like RLC, Musah, Okafor, Emerson, Pobega, Chucky, Thiaw, Pavlovic.

A big rebuild, but it needs to be done.

 

[pippofan]

With all these rumors it's hard to tell who's right or wrong but MilanNews reports that Tare is back in the picture as our SD. In an interview last week in Romania they asked him about Milan and he said that he would be honored to work for such an historic club like ours. While not my first choice I'd be okay with him just to end this saga, got some really good players at Lazio and knows Serie A very well.

 

[Il grande Milan]

Reijnders would be a complete fool to choose current Milan over City, so can't blame him one bit. The man still wants to have a career and this Milan is not the place for serious players.
I just wonder what that means for other 'key' players in our team. We can't have everybody leave at the same time, because that would mean another disaster season, as this management is unwilling to invest, and incapable of looking for solid alternatives.

 

[MilanMB]

It's so funny again with some of you guys

now it's starting again:

we just need a new coach

if we get this of that player

if this or that player starts performing

if this change in management happens



it's not one or two things that needs to happen... competence, talent and will is needed.

i honestly don't believe there's a will from the ownership to have a winning Milan side, otherwise the decisions that have been taken wouldn't have happened. I don't know what the goal of the owner is, but caring about Milan is not it. He doesn't give a flying fuck about this team or it's fanbase. He's using this club for something that at least I don't understand. A successful person like Cardinale wouldn't have put in charge the incompetent donkeys if success on the field was his primary goal. He wouldn't have sacked Maldini if he wanted it. He wouldn't have allowed spending nearly 250m on trash players. It's "bad" decisions over and over again. I don't believe any of these decisions are bad for him... he probably knows what he's doing, but his goals do not align with what we want for this club. All the talk from him about him wanting to be a winner was just what he knew we needed to hear. He even went and got a "legend" in Ibrahimovic to parrot it for him... when Maldini refused. He actually thought Ibra could replace Maldini for us... and maybe for the casual or new fans he does. Ibrahimovic is also in it for his own sake, he doesn't give a fuck about this club. He's gaining a network and experience and will move on sooner rather than later.

We have every ingredient in this club that can make a club fail in the eyes of it's fans:

Ownership that have an unknown agenda that doesn't necessarily need the club being successful on the pitch

incompetent management

low level players in talent and mentality

low level coaches

all these are pretty easy for a club of Milans stature to attain... look how easy Elliot did it by just unleashing the power of Milan with simple things and got a scudetto for it.

 

[pippofan]

This has been a weird Serie A season with two clubs that are choking away their chances for the scudetto, almost like neither of them want to win. Napoli had the easiest schedule but couldn't beat Genoa and Parma and now face Cagliari that has nothing to play for. If they don't win at home, it would be one of the worst choke jobs in history.
Obviously selling Kvara is a contributing factor, and injuries to Buongiorno and Lobotka doesn't help but they still have enough to beat relegation type teams.

Yesterday toward the end of our match I started going back and forth between the Napoli and Inter games and was like a roller coaster ride where one team was on top and soon after the other passed him. Thanks to 37 year old Pedro Napoli is still on top and I'm grateful that VAR allowed the penalty in our Marotta League. To win the scudetto with 82 points, I think the lowest since 2010, is a tragedy for us that with better coaching and one capable DM, even a Cristante type, could have had our 20th.

 

[MilanMB]

some of us more bald and experienced people saw this coming from a long way... but we were slapped with the negativity badge

okkkkk where are the pussytivity farce now??

Money laundering

 

[Hitchens]

Tare links are back.

 

[haditusso]

7th place still possible?

 

[MilanMB]

Money laundering

i doubt it but yeah who knows. if that's the case i don't think Cardinale is doing the laundering, he's just a front.

i think Cardinale is making money and using Milan for his other endeavors/businesses. A deep dive in his persona businesses would answer a lot of questions.

 

[tonyb]

Next coach?

No thanks.

The biggest decision we have to make is our next manager.

When people ask questions like the below, I laugh. Because, with the right coach, even if we make no signings we should be a minimum top 4 side next season. I don't consider Napoli's team superior to ours. Will almost all the top teams have new managers next season? If so, it gives us a great chance of dreaming for even a Scudetto. Who knows, are Inter going to go another year with their veterans? Or do an overhaul? It's a possibility whether they win or not. And will Inzaghi be tempted away?
Get a proper manager, and even with a small budget, if we finally sign the right players, not even world class players, just MEN who know their job, do it to a good standard and let the stars shine, then we will be totally fine next season.
It's no longer the time to try sign obscure players and to try to increase their value. Even if it has to be free agents. Character is everything we are lacking.

I honestly don't know how we will get out of this, or if we will. Gerry needs to sell the club or at least majority of it.

If he wants to win the fans over, he can surprise us by coming out, apologizing and promising us we will compete for Scudetto next season by keeping core players and investing like 70-100 mil easily, and will try to bring back Maldini, and have someone like Albertini instead of Scarecrowni.

But let me wake up, that was just a dream.

I didn't like the sale to RedBird from day one, when I learned that they borrowed 600 million from the seller. It has probably happened before, but I never knew of it and to me it was a sign that we weren't going to invest enough money to stay on top because had a huge debt to repay. Maldini did have a disastrous last mercato but I thought that winning the scudetto would buy him at least another year.

To make it worst they assembled a group of executives that were inexperienced, never held those positions before, and the rest is history. Tried to be optimistic, give them a chance, but hated the role given to Ibra, a self-promoter and mercenary that brags too much about himself and I hate those kind of people even in everyday life.

Napoli played half as many games as Inter this season. Conte has zero excuses to choke the title. And yet he’s already been back at ranting last night about how the tight schedule is draining his team, how the pressure is getting to him, how empty he feels, and how he’s just trying to crawl to the finish line.

Seriously – this Napoli season has been one of the easiest managerial gigs in years. No Europe, no Coppa run, one game a week. And still, he’s on the verge of bottling it. Now he’s laying the groundwork in case he actually blows it on the final day.

What a pathetic little man.

What's bozo about pointing out that Tare links are resurfacing, @MilanMB ?

I saw your long post on our current predicament. Very original.

 

[Alo88]

Reports say we are looking at around 55 mil euros with 10 mil extra in bonuses, to reach around 65 mil euros.

We should milk more from City, like 75 mil total package.

They better not even think about asking for less than 100M for a potential like Reijnders. It's fucking City! Milk the shit out of them if we really have to sell our best player.

Jesus christ.

 

[VillaiN]

Atalanta sold Hojlund for 85m with 10 goals. I wouldnt sell Tiji for less than 80. 26yo with what 15 goals as fkin md. In his prime.

Problem isnt selling. These idiots dont know how to spend money. They spent 200m in 2 years for nothing.
And we can get good money for theo, mike and some other scrubs.

I d sell every1 else before Tiji. Hs s also never injured which s huge.

 

[CanUNoTouch]

Selling our best players shouldn't be a problem, however it will take a competent SD to get the right kind of money for them and reinvest it properly. For me, Leao, Theo, Mike, Tomori, Tiji can all be sold for good prices.

We also have plenty of crap to offload like RLC, Musah, Okafor, Emerson, Pobega, Chucky, Thiaw, Pavlovic.

A big rebuild, but it needs to be done.

Far too much turnover. Risking sabotaging the season before it even starts. You need a foundation of a starting XI.

You cannot get rid of keeper 3 CB's the starting LB the other RB. The best midfielder + 2 rotating CM and the main attacker thinking you'll replace them and that will work. We haven't been relegated we haven't been promoted and nor do we have an injection of money coming in were we can buy higher quality levels. The rebuild has to be done over 3-4 windows. Bring players in acclimatize and phase others out.

Not only are you getting rid of half of the main starters you getting rid of their back ups too leaving too many gaps too cover.

It's crazy to think that, but it's almost as they planned to flip Milan later for a profit.

That would explain their obsession with marketing and the new stadium.

Perhaps they thought Milan would comfortably stay top 4 in Italy while they do jackshit in the sporting direction.

Boy where they wrong.

Positivity and hope in this sport as a fan, that's an issue?

In any case, what I am first and foremost is someone who thinks the Maldini sacking was the point of no return for this shitshow.

Dark times ahead is my current impression, for the same reasons you listed. I have no hope for anything positive at Milan for the foreseeable future.
